Drop Forged Boot Knife

Thanks for the update. Just out of curiosity, if you still have the factory box that the knife came in, can you check to see if the model number is the same as the silver version of the same knife, #36MB?

Same #.

Because I have the hemp and plasti dipped handle, I'm not going to mess with trying to strip that finish, but if anyone else gives it a shot, I would love to see if it just removes that top grey/silver/bronze or if it also removes the black coating underneath as well.

52100 patinas like a boss with heavy use. If it strips off the top and bottom coating, I could definitely go for a fully stripped dagger.

I would think the blade could look good stripped and polished. It would rust pretty easy, but heck I remember when stainless steel was just a dream and you had to actually take care of the knife(got some nice patina's too) just like my guns at the time. Just picked up a Forged Bowie for $19.99, might think about trying to strip and polish the blade.....

Hi Snakebreaker, do you have any idea how to strip the coating? I used some paint removers, but the effect is not satisfactory. Only a few parts of the coating can be stripped, and most of them are firmly attached to the blade. Meantime, I prefer not to remove the coating by polishing, because I want to keep the original sandblasting finish under the coating and do blackening treatment.
